I have just removed this commit from the printk tree.

There has been a race between the changes in the printk and tty
which has caused these problems. [*]

The conflicts between the printk and tty tree should be gone now.

I am sorry for troubles.

Best Regards,

[*] In fact, I have removed the entire patchset fixing the regression
in console registration, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240620124541.164931-1-tony.lindgren@linux.intel.com

The feature is going to be reworked. Greg has reverted the commits
introducing the regression in the tty tree, see
